What I like is that, I think, the design of the award has changed but little since I made it up for the first awards.

At least I think so. So hard to know at this distance.

Perhaps the Russians were not breeding them in space. Perhaps, like so many other things in Russia, they just had them.

Super site. Just super. I was Tom Parker's editor for his three books of Rules of Thumb back in the 80s and I'm glad to see they made it to the web and, I hope, will thrive there.

For the record, there were indeed three books:
Rules of Thumb
Rules of Thumb II
and
Never Trust a Calm Dog

All super titles that are worth the money if you can hunt them down and find them today.
